Albert Pujols, 1B, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Albert Pujols is on a roll these days, hitting two bombs in as many games, and three in his last five, putting him one away from 600 for his career.

It's an amazing accomplishment, but he could have a difficult time making it three in a row against noted ground-ball pitcher, Jaime Garcia, who has a 54.2% ground-ball rate and 28.1% hard-hit rate.

Pujols also has to contend with playing in a depleted lineup without Mike Trout, which could limit RBI opportunities, as well as the confines of pitcher-friendly Angel Stadium.

Given his recent play, you can consider Pujols in GPPs, but overall there are better and cheaper value plays at first base in Matt Holliday and Matt Adams.
